Accessible Roofs for:
Terraces, Podium, Vehicles, M & E etc.
Heavy traffic rooftops such as terraces and parking areas experience a great deal of stress from constant load and continual usage. It is crucial that the insulation and waterproofing membrane withstand all static and dynamic loads without deformation. Thermoplastic insulation materials deform gradually over time, diminishing the thermal performance and causing stress to the waterproofing membrane. FOAMGLAS® cellular glass insulation has the highest compressive strength of any insulating material. There is no risk of deformation, it is a truly structural insulation.
Technical features and benefits:
- Remarkable compressive strength
FOAMGLAS® has a remarkable compressive strength, it has a very high resistance to edge pressure and does not creep or deform over time.
- Roofing membrane
Roofing membranes or asphalt wearing surfaces are directly applied over the insulation creating a 'warm' roof. This ensures a waterproof roofing system is achieved; protecting against water and water vapour penetration.
- Load distribution slab
In order to create a robust structure for heavy vehicle parking decks and plazas a load distribution slab may be recommended. The design of the load distribution slab is dependent on the structural engineers calculations and recommendations.
